    hey im pretty sure most companies want a 160 hour type course. not sure about melton on this but ive seen a few threads on these forums about others getting denied this way or wanting to take a refresher course

    They claim a no chain policy but most the long time been here guys said they never have and too be honest I wouldn't have a clue how to do it.

    Been lucky, all the chain areas I went thru last winter were either well plowed or nothing bad.

    Apparently I was told there's a tool needed by a trainer I ran with once and we searched my truck and I don't have it any way.
